No. HELL to the no.

I know enough to know that's pretty much the worst movie ever made, so...

That's a tough one. I think I'd rather see Doom again, or Prometheus again, than Batman & Robin again.

Damn straight.

Actually, I couldn't watch Batman & Robin for very long. 

I imagine they use those old Batman flicks for interrogation in some places, they're so painful to watch.

I actually saw that in the theater - Batman and Robin. God help me.

I've said it before, I walked out of Evita even though it was a 99 cent movie. And Banderas would have gone with me if he could.

Hmmm...I've never even heard of Gigli...

*looks up on Wiki*

...yeah I'm never going to watch that.  Good Onion article about it though!

Yep, me too.

It was on TV one night a few years back. I tuned it, figuring it couldn't be as bad as I had remembered, and would at least be something I could mock.

It may have been worse than I remembered. It was so awful that it was too bad to mock. I had to turn away. Just a putrid film.

I wouldn't want Plinkett to do B&R. Too easy, and the team go after films that are generally liked or which should have been good.

If the Plinkett team went after Batman 89 and Batman Returns, that would be more appropriate.

(Though actually Chris Sims and David Uzimeki already did that for their Batmanology articles at ComicsAlliance. And defended B&R as the best of the films directed or produced by Burton.)

Dear Lord, Ridley Scott wants to do 3 more Prometheus films  :crazy2:

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/sep/23/ridley-scott-three-more-prometheus-films-alien

I'm fine with that.

Would rather see those than another Stranded-On-Mars movie like his current one.

I'm glad he's returning to more intelligent science fiction. Prometheus was flat out dumb.

I have no confidence from past experience that yet-another-stranded-on-Mars-movie won't be just as flat-out regularly dumb.

The book it's based on has some solid science behind it. The author has even owned up to the things he got wrong or took liberty with.
